A 21-year-old man visiting Miami Beach was fatally shot by a gunman while protecting his 1-year-old son at a restaurant, police and family said.

The alleged suspect, 22-year-old Tamarius Blair Davis Jr., of Norcross, Georgia, told investigators he shot the young father, Dustin Wakefield, on Tuesday night because he “was high on mushrooms, which made him feel empowered,” according to an arrest report obtained by local outlet WSVN.
